Question is : will the E layer ionisation be strong enough at soloar
minimum ?
The answer will be known in a few years ...
I'm not sure how closely NDB band propagtion compares with 136 but it is a
lot closer than 80 or 160. There is no doubt (from my experience) that
propagtion in this region of the spectrum is much, much better during
sunspot minima years - hopefully it translates into improved LF condx for
136. I think there will be some really great propagation in the years coming
and along with the new modes (QRSS/WOLF etc) some of the present distance
records will be shattered.
